by Gilbert Lennox
The wild tribes to the north of Burma believe that their chiefs have the Power of the Evil Eye-the power to put a curse on a person merely by staring at him. Colonel Lennox, in charge of a survey party in the area, found himself in a dangerous situation where the only way out was to claim that he too had the Power. When challenged to demonstrate it he found, to his dismay, that it worked-or did it?
